Thanks, Jo, for the box of goodies, look, the shirts fit (those puffy sleeves are so girlie, love them)....you're so thoughtful. I got a package from All Moments Remembered today, too....beautiful Prima flowers, ribbons, buttons and chipboard letters!
Geepers your girls are adorable! I love that crochet hat. You should ask your friend to give you the row by row instructions on how to make it & then put it on your blog, so we can all try making one too.
AMR...I wish I had an online shop close to us. The ones in SA have such nasty stuff. Have fun will all your new stash! x
I'm glad the shirts fit ! I wanted to get them LONG sleeves (cuz I know its cold up there), but I couldn't find one at the time. Then, 3 days later after sending you the pkg- I went to OLD navy & found that cheap $3 fleece for Jaina. I thought about your girls ... we miss all of you. You are like the coolest friend ever ! Do you need a jacket ? Goody's here is having clearance for $9 / thick jackets.
Cute pictures of the girls! I also have an order coming in from AMR. I think it should be here tomorrow seeing as how Stacey only lives a few hours south of me :) I can hardly wait!!
